SystemVerilog came to life in 2005 as a superset of Verilog-2005. The last IEEE technical committee revision of the SystemVerilog LRM was completed in 2016 and published as IEEE 1800-2017.
Have the last seven years revealed any changes or enhancements that maintain SystemVerilog’s relevance and efficaciousness in the face … Read More
In this free technical Training Webinar with Application Engineer Sai Srinivas Pamula, we’ll teach you the essential steps in the RTL-to-GDSII design flow using a wide variety of industry-leading Cadence tools—such as the Xcelium Logic Simulator,… Read More

Abstract
As FPGA technology continues to evolve – to provide us with full-blown SoCs with CPU, GPU, and high-speed peripherals, for example, joining the traditional programmable logic area – design verification becomes increasingly challenging. Lab-based FPGA testing and… Read More

Almost everything that we do in chip design and verification was invented to raise the abstraction above schematics and polygons. Register-transfer-level (RTL) design, functional simulation, logic synthesis, floorplanning, and more fall into this category. Even the notion of binary circuits is an abstraction. Underneath… Read More
Abstract
The programming interfaces of logic simulators are largely the domain of specialists writing proprietary tools and extensions and are only vaguely in the consciousness of many design and verification engineers, if aware at all. Yet the simplest use of such interfaces opens up a whole world of possibilities in extending… Read More
We have been working with Defacto since 2016 and it has been quite a journey. Putting an entire system on a chip is a driving force in the semiconductor industry. With the complexity of designing a modern SoC constantly increasing, new tools and methodologies are required and it all starts with RTL.
Defacto Technologies is an innovative… Read More
Earlier I blogged about IC and ASIC functional verification, so today it’s time to round that out with the state of FPGA functional verification. The Wilson Research Group has been compiling an FPGA report every two years since 2018, so this marks the third time they’ve focused on this design segment. At $5.8 billion… Read More
Way back in 2002 there was a study from Collett International Research on functional verification, and since 2010 the Wilson Research Group has continued that same kind of study with a new report every two years. What attracts me to this report is that it doesn’t just look at the installed base of one EDA vendor, instead it looks… Read More
